IPhone 3GS iOS6.1.3 Activation Problem
Hi there, I do have an iPhone 3GS on iOS6.1.3 Recently Upgrade from iOS6.1.2..
This set is bought from Malaysia and it is unlocked set, therefore there's no Carrier lock or whatever..
My problems is, after I perform a clean Restore to iOS6.1.3 I cannot seem to activate the iPhone.
When I have reach the welcome page, it only ask about my langguage, Location, and ask me to plug into iTunes.. Does not have WiFi and my Sim card is on No Service. I plug-ed into iTunes and it say We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time please contact customer care..
As I read in forum, a lot of user keep on saying jailbroken or what ever. But I never jailbroken my iPhone.
Any help out there?
I have called AppleCare, My phone and serial is no Problem.. Just they keep on asking me to restore.. and yet.. It still the same.. I can only Select language, Region, Connect to iTunes..
After Connected to iTunes I received this message "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care."

Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it or after a few minutes and try again. -

trying to active my old iPhone 3gs. it showing that activation server is temporary unavailable and on the iTunes showing that there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. I unlocked my phone then i upgrade it, after that this happen. i tried with other sim same message come again and again.if any body know solution let me know. thanks
Was the SIM card activated on another phone? I assume this is an ATT style trying to use on T-Mobile? Was the SIM installed correctly? Is the carrier (like T-Mobile) operating IOS 6 devices yet?
If the SIM is a valid SIM from say T-Mobile, you may want to contact them for assistance activating the SIM card.
Activation and SIM issues typically point to the carrier. And if this was a CDMA phone say working with verizon, it will NOT work for ATT or T-Mobile as they use different electronics on the 3GS. The SIM slot is for international use only. -

Seems that way. I think I am going to have to give in and spend hours on the phone with Apple support. I don't want to, but I am at a loss. I will share any discoveries...

Hello, i have a problem. My boyfriend has got an iPhone 3gs but we have a problem, we don't know how to get iMessage on his phone. Do you know how we could do ?
Then you should have iMessage. Go to Settings > Messages to turn it on and set your Receive At address. Note that iMessage uses the Messages app... standard texts are gree, iMessages are blue.

Iphone 3gs after restore cant activated.. phone is unlock..
iphone 3gs after restore cant activated.. phone is unlock..
Hello skyway9992,
It sounds like you cannot activate your iPhone 3GS after restoring it. I found an article that has steps for troubleshooting an activation issue on an iPhone.
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
I have included the steps from that article here:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Cannot activate iPhone 3GS iOS6, it wants SIM
I just upgraded my old iPhone 3GS to iOS6.
Now it wants a valid SIM (which I do not have) in order to work. I already did a restore, no success.
It also wants to join wifi, otherwise it will not work, which I can do. However, it will simply not go past the SIM stage.
Must be related to iOS6. Is it some stupid thing Apple came up with?
There were no such problems in iOS5.I do not have another working SIM (all my active phones have microsim). I tried to insert the micro in a regular SIM frame but I do not have the right tool to carve it out.
Anyway, this has naver been a problem. If it is an iOS6 "feature" than it is unfortunately beyond stupid. -
Iphone 3gs ios no service activation??
I recently updated my iphone 3gs to ios5 and now it wont read my sim card and it wont get passed the activation screen!! Someone please help :/
Where did you buy this phone? Are you using the same SIM which came with the phone initially?
The most probable explanation to this problem could be that your phone is locked to the carrier it was originally locked to after the iOS update. The reason why it had worked before could be the phone was hacked to unlock it. -

Well, it's not fully compatible for all apps, but you are basically right:

The devices that are iOS 6 compatible are:

iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS, but does not support:
VIP list
